This week I have been scratching around in my embossing snippets box which is buldging... and this is the card I've come up with for this week Pixie's Snippet challenge.I've used Sue Wilsons Heart lattice, Spellbinders Em-Bossabilities Dainty Dots and the middle panel I cant tell you what it is as I no longer have the embossing folder...The little birds are cut from Poppystamps Nestled Bird die and of course spellbinders heart dies...the sentiment is from a Stampin Up set called 'After thoughts' but I have masked off part of the sentiment as it could be a Wedding, Engagement or Anniversary card.

We have a lovely sunny day down here in Somerset and I hear we are in for warmer weather....so hopefully summers not over yet...

Our youngest Grandson starts school on Monday....he seems too young as he's only just 4years old and will be one of the youngest ones....thankfully he's part-time for 3 weeks so as to ease them in gently...

This is a little good luck card I've made him using one of Mo Manning's digi images....the small alphabet and numbers are from the Tattered Lace Issue 3 magazine. Backing papers are from Echo Park 'Boys life' paper pad...

Bless him his school shirt comes down to his knees and his little shorts are for 2-3 year olds....but he cant wait to go...and of course his big sister is giving him lots of adivce on what to do and what not to do, she's 6 1/2 ....don't you just love 'em...

We have a dry day here in Somerset which is lovely after the awful rain over the past 3 days...

Where has the week gone? Grandchildren all safely home now so I've got my crafting time back.For my at Pixie's Snippets challenge I've used my new Stampin Up Moustache die and scrap piece of newsprint backing paper which I aleady had ..... my card is quite small but again ideal for using up those small bits of card and paper....

I've used a little Penny Black stamp called 'Daisy Sprig', stamped and coloured with Copics, image cut out with Spellbinders Pierced Ovals...papers are from LOTV 'Promised' pad...Whimsy Corner dies, and I've used part of the Sue Wilson petite bows for across the centre and added and little pearl embellishment, sentiment S.U.

Firstly thank you all very much for your kind get well wishes and I am feeling so much better now...

My Mojo seems to gone on 'sick leave' now so really struggling to make cards. We have our two youngest grandchildren next week for a few days and whilst in our local craft shop looking for things to keep them occuppied should the weather be bad I came across these scrabble sticker letters so thats what I've been playing with and this is one of the cards I've come up with. Its lovely to make pretty wedding cards but not everyone likes 'pretty' so this is my version of 'different'.... I've used my new Spellbinders Celebration Pierced squares apart from that its all scraps of card and string....tiny hearts are from the waste of the Martha Stewart punch...I knew one day they would come in hand!
